You do realize that Bill Gates hasn't been involved with MS for many years now, right?

People bitch and moan every time MS Office apps are updated, too; I can't count the number of times I've heard coworkers complain. TBF though, I refuse to hit the "Try the new Outlook" toggle on my work laptop - I tried it once and it was worse in every way.

I'm glad the only MS products I use at this point are work-issued.

I discovered it a couple weeks ago. Love it.

Hell yeah. I don't normally simp for companies, but I will happily support locally owned alternatives to big, faceless corporations, even if it costs a bit more. Usually.

I pay $89/mo total for symmetrical gigabit via UTOPIA, no monthly cap, and my static IP. I was paying Comcast a hair over $60/mo before this for 400/20 via cable w/1.2TB cap.

Absolutely worth it.

My ISP is a local deal, well-known for protecting privacy, and run by an absolute nerd (in the best way possible, also outspoken about privacy, FOSS, and other such things). Their customer service is second-to-none; I had an issue with my static IP a couple years back, and had an actual engineer on the line within a few hours. On a weekend.

It's XMission. I dropped Comcast for them once they were in my area. Comcast can climb up a cactus.

spoon fed software

That's a new one. I like it.

Linux has been doing this for decades via APT and other software managers. Not locked down, either.

Right, but asking for 2-4 drive bays...

🤔

A PCI-E expansion board full of M.2 NVME drives might do the trick.
